Description:
Converts hot linked images to attachments.

Question and Answers:
Q: Are attachments reused, meaning if the same attachment is located in several posts does each one use up disk space?

Q: Does this add-on convert hot linked images in other areas besides posts?
A: It will convert hot linked images in posts and conversation messages.
Q: Does Convert image add-on support $config['http']['proxy'] to hide my IP address?
